Ok, so when I take a screenshot, the screenshot comes back normal. So at least does not seem directly related to the video/logic board.

I recently picked up an older MacBook Pro 17-Inch Mid 2009 (5,2) (A1297). The computer has one issue with it. Most of the time, the computer screen either flickers random colors or the screen casts a weird color hue. About 5 percent of the time the screen works the way it should, however most...

I know that distraction-free laptop are popular these days and I can see how they can be helpful. The only problem is they are super expensive, especially for what they do! My question is, how hard is it to make one using a Raspberry Pi, an older Chromebook using a Linux distro, or an older...

I have a question about importing my Facebook friend contacts into instagram. Whenever I go to settings > Follow and Invite Friends there is no option for connecting Facebook contacts to instagram. I am using the latest version of iOS and Instagram on an iPhone 8 Plus. A year ago this connect...

I just got a swim MP3 player that only accepts MP3 or WMA. I was wondering how to download Podcasts in those formats so I can listen to them on this MP3 player?

Someone gave me a swimming, underwater Finis Neptune MP3 player but the problem is the charging cable was not included. Since this is a waterproof MP3 player the cable is proprietary and it is impossible to find a cable (from the company or otherwise) without buying a second unit on eBay with...

I have a MacBook Pro, Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014 (MacBookPro11,1) that I would like to upgrade the hard drive. What style of PCIe SSD do I need for this? Researching these online I see a lot of different varieties of these drives. I have seen: 1. HP EX920 M.2 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 (link...

I have mainly used multiple Mac computer for the past 12 years most of my work (video and photos). I love the power new iMac Pro, but it is incredibly expensive so I am looking at building my own. I have successfully built 4 gaming Windows computers in the past 10 years so I know how to do that...

Hello! I am new to Wordpress and I have just inherited a Wordpress website that I have figured out most of the things on it except for the rotating banner at the top. The banner is the featured image of a post. My question is, how do I make the featured image clickable so that when a customer...

I had an old HD that would not power up, so I replaced the PCB with the exact same model and now it powers on! Yay! The only problem is the hard drive does not click at all, the motor just runs, but besides that, there is no other sounds. The hard drive never mounts. Is there a way to fix...

I just got a "new" used iMac G4 from a thrift store that I though just had a bad HD, but when I opened it up, I discovered that the TMDS cable that connects the supplies the data from the motherboard / video card to the monitor is broken inside. The monitor turns on, and turns white, but...

I just got an easy bloom plant sensor cheap from a thrift store and when I got it home, I found out the website was shut down so therefore it does not work. My question is, the unit itself works, and it has a ton of sensors and things that work in the unit, but since the software / website is...

Ok, I know this is a super broad topic but I would like to learn more about Facebook marketing and advertising on it. I know Facebook is the hot way to market today. Now before you all see google it, I know that there are millions of websites that claim to teach how to do it, but I know that a...

I got a neat little Quad Core Windows 10 tablet on Black Friday for less than $50 USD just to play around with (I know right? Prices have dropped) and it came with 16GB storage internal. Obviously being full Windows 10 it was mostly filled (less than 6GB free) from the factory with a stock...

I know this is a super cheap "netbook" "laptop" that is not really worth anything. But I just got one of these for free with a broken screen. The Sylvania Smartbook SYNET7WIC has a 7" screen. I was wondering what screen is used on this so I can replace it? I realize that it really isn't...
